About

A documentary by Graeme Arnfield about the Skylab crew's strike before Christmas 1973, a speculative reconstruction of the only strike in space.

The Case Against Space is a 2026 documentary directed by Graeme Arnfield. It centres on the crew of Skylab, NASA's first space station, who went on strike shortly before Christmas 1973. The film is a speculative reconstruction of what is described as the first and only strike in space. In doing so, it recasts the conventional narrative of the astronaut as hero as a critical reflection on capitalism and surveillance culture. The production comes from the United Kingdom and France and runs 72 minutes.
